Yes — Dark chocolate bar with cranberries and macadamias is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and ingredients such as emulsifier (soya lecithin) and glucose syrup. Under the NOVA system, the presence of emulsifiers and industrially processed sugars like glucose syrup is sufficient to make a product UPF, even though it also contains many minimally processed ingredients like nuts, dried fruit, honey, and chocolate components.
